The dance came quicker and quicker, and without classes to help pass the time, Harry didn't know what to do with himself. Ron still hadn't asked Hermione and it began to aggravate Harry to the point where he brought it up with Ron.
"Ron, the dance is tomorrow night, and you still haven't asked Hermione, will you just do it for Merliln's sake?!"
Ron looked up at him with a look that told Harry that he was way to scared to do it.
"Well then, I'll just do it for you."
"Do what for him?"
Ron and Harry both turned around to see Hermione coming down the steps.
"Hermione-will-you-go-to-the-dance-with-me?" Ron said in one breath.
Harry and Hermione turned to look at Ron in mild surprise.
"Oh Ron, I'd love to!"
Harry saw a small grin flash across Ron's lips, but it was unparalleled to the ear to ear smile that covered Hermione's face.
"Okay, well I'll meet you down here tomorrow night at 6:30," Ron managed to stutter.
Hermione nodded again and ran up the steps to the girls dormitory without another word.
***********************************************
The next day came a lot faster then Harry would have hoped, most of the students stayed in the common room the entire day except for breakfast and lunch. Lunch wasn't very big because there was to be a huge feast with the dance that night.
Around 4 o'clock Hermione excused herself to go get ready for the ball, this time, Harry noticed that Ron made no comment about her taking 3 hours to get ready.
The crowd in the common room died down around 5:30 and Harry and Ron went up to the dormitory to get ready. Harry pulled his deep green robes out of his trunk and ironed them magically to get some of the creases out. Ron took his new dark blue robes out of his trunk and Harry smiled at the thought of what Fred and George had done with the remainder of his TriWizard winnings after buying Ron some new robes.
Harry put some of the Muggle hair gel that he had stolen from Dudley onto his unruly black hair, managing to tame it down a bit. After he had brushed his teeth and made sure he looked okay, he walked back to the dormitory to wait for Ron. But, it was Ron who was sitting on Harry's bed waiting for him.
"Hey Harry, can I have a word with you before we go down?" He asked, sounding particularly mature.
"Sure, about what?"
"Well, Ginny is my little sister, just promise me you won't hurt her Harry, I know you wouldn't, but still. Don't hurt her, okay?"
Harry had known this was coming, "I won't hurt her Ron, I promise you, but I can't promise that nothing is going to happen between us tonight."
Ron looked at Harry and nodded, "I know mate, I know."
They walked down to the common room to find they were the only ones. They sat in their chairs by the fire and waited when they both heard a soft click of heels from behind them. They got up and turned around, bracing themselves for what they would see. Harry's jaw dropped at the site of them both standing there at the bottom of the steps in their gowns.
